From 488242eb941305ef61319b8499d4a1e8ccf218a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Francis Rowe Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2014 03:37:00 -0400 Subject: Libreboot release 6 beta 3. - Fixed typo that existed in 2nd beta where the release date of the 2nd beta was listed as being in year 2016, when in actual fact it was 2014. - Documentation: added (preliminary) details about (rare) buggy CPU's on the ThinkPad T60 that were found to fail (instability, kernel panics, etc) without the microcode updates. - Documentation: added docs/howtos/x60_heatsink.html for showing how to change the heatsink on the Thinkpad X60 - Added ROM images for Azerty (French) keyboard layout in GRUB (courtesy of Olivier Mondoloni) - Tidied up some scripts: - Re-factored those scripts (made easier to read/maintain): build-x60, build-x60t, build-t60, build-macbook21 - Reduced the number of grub configs to 2 (or 1, for macbook21), the build scripts now generate the other configs at build time. - Deleted build-x60, build-x60t, build-t60, build-macbook21 and replaced with intelligent (generic) buildrom-withgrub script - Updated build to use buildrom-withgrub script for building the ROM images. - coreboot.rom and coreboot_serial.rom renamed to coreboot_usqwerty.rom and coreboot_serial_usqwerty.rom - coreboot_dvorak and coreboot_serial_dvorak.rom renamed to coreboot_usdvorak.rom and coreboot_serial_usdvorak.rom - Renamed coreboot*rom to libreboot*rom - Made flash, lenovobios_firstflash and lenovobios_secondflash scripts fail if the specified file does not exist. - Updated all relevant parts of the documentation to reflect the above. - Replaced background.png with background.jpg. added gnulove.jpg. (resources/grub/background/) - Updated buildrom-withgrub to use background.jpg instead of background.png - Updated buildrom-withgrub to use gnulove.jpg aswell - Updated resources/grub/config/macbook21/grub*cfg to use gnulove.jpg background. - Updated resources/grub/config/{x60,t60,x60t}/grub*cfg to use background.jpg background. - Documentation: updated docs/index.html#grub_custom_keyboard to be more generally useful. - nvramtool: - Updated builddeps-coreboot script to build it - Updated build script to include it in libreboot_bin - Documentation: added docs/howtos/x60_security.html (security hardening for X60) --- (limited to 'docs/howtos/x60_heatsink.html') diff --git a/docs/howtos/x60_heatsink.html b/docs/howtos/x60_heatsink.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..0feee77 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/howtos/x60_heatsink.html @@ -0,0 +1,142 @@ + + + + + + + + + Libreboot documentation: Switch heatsink on ThinkPad X60 + + + + +

Disassembly

+

+ Remove those screws:
+ +

+

+ Push the keyboard forward (carefully):
+ +

+

+ Lift the keyboard up and disconnect it from the board:
+ +

+

+ Grab the right-hand side of the chassis and force it off (gently) and pry up the rest of the chassis:
+ +

+

+ You should now have this:
+ +

+

+ Disconnect the wifi antenna cables, the modem cable and the speaker:
+ +

+

+ Unroute the cables along their path, carefully lifting the tape that holds them in place. Then, disconnect the modem + cable (other end) and power connection and unroute all the cables so that they dangle by the monitor hinge on the right-hand + side:
+ +

+

+ Disconnect the monitor from the motherboard, and unroute the grey antenna cable, carefully lifting the tape + that holds it into place:
+ +

+

+ Carefully lift the remaining tape and unroute the left antenna cable so that it is loose:
+ +

+

+ Remove those screws:
+ +

+

+ Remove those screws:
+ +

+

+ Carefully remove the plate, like so:
+ +

+

+ Remove the SATA connector:
+ +

+

+ Now remove the motherboard (gently) and cast the lcd/chassis aside:
+ +

+

+ Look at that black tape above the heatsink, remove it:
+ +

+

+ Now you have removed it:
+ +

+ +

+ Disconnect the fan and remove all the screws, heatsink will easily come off:
+ +

+ +

+ Remove the old paste with a cloth (from the CPU and heatsink) and then clean both of them with the alcholeel (to remove remaining residue. typo is intentional). + Apply a pea-sized amount of paste to the both chipsets that the heatsink covered and spread it evenly (uniformally). + Finally reinstall the heatsink, reversing previous steps. +

+ +

+ stress -c 2 command can be used to push the CPU to 100%, and xsensors (or watch sensors command) can be used to monitor heat. + Below 90C is ok. +
